Fundraising for the people of Ukraine
The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine has left people all over the world looking on in horror, wondering what they can do to help.
Members of the New College community have come together to organise events to raise funds for the people of Ukraine who have had to flee their homes, many to other countries.
Bake & Buy Sale - 4th March
Many members of College donated cakes to a New College bake sale, with pieces of cake sold for £1 and complimentary coffee provided. The Dean of Divinity spoke movingly about the crisis and offered a short prayer, followed by a performance from the singing group The New Men, including a Ukrainian hymn.
The funds from this bake sale will be donated to Siepomaga's Ukraine appeal - a Polish charity helping Ukrainian foster children and orphans across the border into Poland and helping to care for them once there.
Our thanks to everyone who brought in and/or purchased cakes for your generosity.
